Floral Delights

This card was made using a 8x8 card blank covered in the coordinating backing paper to the image from Joanna Sheens new From the Heart of the Garden CD Rom. To the left hand side a border was made using coordinating Nostalgia Coordinations card stock punched using a loop punch. This was overlayed with a further border of pink cardstock using a scalloped edge and then threaded using a ribbon punch and some white ribbon.

The main image was printed on to canvas paper and layered on to a matt of silver mirri board given dimension with pin flair glue gel. The butterflies were decoupaged on and glittered to ensure they stood out from the image.

A tag was created to mount the sentiment on using the same cardstock as that used for the border and attached to the card using the same ribbon from the border and a silver floral brad to complete the look.

This simple 8x8 scalloped card was tinted using spun sugar distress inks, then a matt of the Mothers Day calligraphy paper was added to the card from and a layer of ruffled ribbon to the base to add texture. A subsequent matt of silver mirri board was added to the centre of the card using pinflair glue gel and then a flat matt of the floral backing paper. Another silver mirri matt was added with glue gel and two further flat layers of citrus green card and the base floral image From the Heart of the Garden CD Rom.

I printed a further three full images of the flower and cut them away to make a decoupaged and dimensional flower for the centre, curving it with an embossing tool before attaching with glue gel.

Fabulous cards, really love the colours. Love how you've used the loop punch and the ribbon on the first one. Beautiful. When blogger behaves I'll try to add my name to your follower list! Thank you for visiting my blog. Hugs, Jayne x

About Me

I have been crafting for around 5 years now. Recently extending my experiences beyond card making into both Art Journalling, Art Canvases and Mixed Media Projects.
I remain a devote of rubber stamps however and my husband has relinquished our small third bedroom into my craft room which I am beginning to kit out with all the fripperies and storage solutions a crafty gal can need.
I live in Bedfordshire with my wonderfully tolerant husband Ben, two cats and our chihuahua.
I work full time so dont get to craft as often as I would like and can hold my hands up that often I am in trouble when the washing is overflowing the basket and the housework hasnt been done as I have gone to play with my crafty stash.
I love to read, listen to music and now keep a journal to hand for all my thoughts, feelings, recipes etc;
I also love watching films and listening to music whilst crafting and it is amazing the speed time travels when you relax and enjoy your favourite hobby.
Only flaw now is whenever we go on holiday I do check out to see if there will be a craft or art store in my sites for the odd crafty purchase.
